Challenges are part of everyday life and everyone’s personal development, but sometimes it can all be just too much. Your well-being can come under pressure. Recognizable? It is important to know that you can really do something about it. As board member of a student organization you will also have to deal with the wellbeing of your members and fellow students. Talk to each other about it and know where members can go for help and guidance. Both inside and outside the organization.
